What is the laypeople’s exposure perception concerning 5G?
Most citizens know little about how mobile radio works and rely on intuitions when assessing exposure to RF-EMF, which poses a challenge for scientists and risk communicators. Dr Marie Eggeling (IU team) presents results of recent studies on laypeople’s exposure perceptions from the SEAWave project. Main findings were that laypeople often have different understandings of exposure than experts, that misconceptions and intuitive assessments are common, and that personal relevance is often low. Risk communicators should adjust their communication to the target audience and aim to engage people by using new and vivid formats of communication. Rather than communicating complex findings about doses and exposures, basic principles, i.e.,” rules of thumb” may be more helpful for the public. They should also keep in mind that reception of scientific information may be influenced by prior knowledge, attitudes, and emotions.![]()

5G private networks are becoming a platform for 'wire-free' networking for professional applications from factory floor automation through to automated warehousing, logistics, autonomous vehicle deployments in campus environments, mining, material processing and more.![]()
Dr Blaž Valič (INIS team) is presenting an analysis that was carried out on a real case scenario in the Port of Koper, Slovenia. Two different types of infrastructure were analysed: private standalone 5G base station and public non-standalone 5G base station operating at 3.5 GHz. The RF EMF exposure of a driver in a terminal tractor equipped with 5G getaway was also measured and analysed.![]()

Dr Ourouk Jawad, (ANFR team), is presenting the results of a large-scale measurement campaign of the level of exposure in front of 5G FR1 base stations in many french cities from 2020 to 2023. These measurement have been carried out at more than 1000 positions, 7 times between 2020 to 2023. The goals of this study are to demonstrate that 5G NR technology is compliant with the national limits, to assess accurately the increase of the level of exposure in different bands where 5G has been deployed and to emphasize global knowledge of 5G exposure answering the public concern.![]()
